The LEGAL way to scrap your vehicle

HAVING worked in the trade on the Costa Blanca for over 13 years, the staff at Bradley Breakers could tell a horror story or two about people who thought they had scrapped their ‘old banger’ only to find that the car was still registered many months later.

There are individuals who have faced large fines after the vehicle they thought they’d seen the back of was still driving around.

Unfortunately as long as your name remains on the document of ownership you are legally responsible for that vehicle.

Here in Spain the system of scrapping a vehicle is far more complex than anything you are likely to face back in Ireland or the UK.

There is now also the new Environmental Badges that came into force which means your vehicle is categorised based on its energy efficiency.

Bradley Breakers are ex­ perts in the field and they can make the whole process as simple and uncomplicated as you might wish. Simply make the call, they will make you a cash offer for your vehicle and if accepted they will collect on a tow truck from your home. They will leave you with the necessary legal documentation advising that they have taken ownership of your car and then following its scrapping, you will be issued with the official DGT

Certificate (Baja). Its important when selling/scrapping your car that you are provided with all the correct and legal paperwork, this is something you will always receive from Bradley Breakers. It is very important to make sure you use a reputable company.
